This study focuses on assessing the groundwater quality since it is contaminated due to various anthropogenic activities. Water contamination is one of the environmental challenges now days. In this work groundwater samples are collected for determination of various physicochemical parameters (temperature, pH, turbidity, acidity, alkalinity, hardness, TDS, nitrate, sulphate, chloride, andfluoride) for the duration of pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods. G&lt;span style=&quot;color:#231f20&quot;&gt;roundw&lt;/span&gt;ater samples are taken for the analysis from Bhagwanpur since utilization of secondary treated municipal sewage for irrigating has been shown in that area. The study reveals that the parameters like pH, temperature, alkalinity, salinity and nutrient concentration in the analyzed sample falls within the permissible limitas per drinking water standards. Also the variation in mean values of the parameter within the samples was found very less whereas the variation recorded more in different seasons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
